[valid siren]

your usb port broke? $700 lol

[urban vale]

no, more like

[wanton glade]

🤡

[polar fern]

@valid siren i’m still waiting. What exactly am I looking for?

[urban vale]

oh, your kid accidentally deleted everything off of iCloud?

[golden talon]

said nobody ever because usb C ports dont break unless you pour a gallon of water in them

[valid siren]

I was referring to the macbooks

[granite tinsel]

one thing i'm working on getting used to is the keyboard shortcuts tho

[polar fern]

And what about them?

[full fossil]

your screen broke? Oh can't be fixed buy new phone

[granite tinsel]

but i've had a bit of time to adjust since i already have an ipad with a keyboard

[valid siren]

Fan on one side, CPU on the other. No heatpipe between them.

[polar fern]

My MacBook never had any thermal issues that I noticed

[golden talon]

Thats an intel macbook, intel macbooks are dogshit, we established this

[valid siren]

I know, they asked.

[golden talon]

Everyone knows and agrees that intel macbooks are shit

[urban vale]

I’ve used Windows from W98 up to 11, I dabble in Linux, and I use Mac OS/iOS/iPad OS and I still prefer the Mac OS

[granite tinsel]

even the apple silicon macbooks have heatpipes

[polar fern]

The MacBook that I have is an Intel MacBook and the cooling on it is totally fine

[valid siren]

Good for you mate

[golden talon]

what year is it

[wanton glade]

a lot

[golden talon]

i had the i3 2020 macbook air and it was terrible

[polar fern]

In fact, I have run folding at home on it for months on end

[stray island]

yeah i agree MACOS is the only good OS

[full fossil]

nice.

[golden talon]

really, really bad

[granite tinsel]

what doesn't help in that matter is that windows arguably peaked with 7

[polar fern]

It’s a 2008 model

[golden talon]

okay makes sense

any pre-2010 macbook is automatically based

[polar fern]

But you said Intel MacBooks are crap, so I guess you’re wrong

[valid siren]

You could actually swap out hard drives on those.

[granite tinsel]

i'm so fucking sick of these windows versions that just REFUSE to not get in your face

[polar fern]

Oh next time be more specific then

[golden talon]

its crap. its terrible and its dogshit. in a nostalgic way

[granite tinsel]

even in VR i cannot escape it; windows mixed reality will put notifications in my fucking face blocking my entire view while playing beat saber

[urban vale]

the clear solution is to put two NHD15’s in it

[valid siren]

Windows can afford to be ass because it knows that no one is going to try anything else

[polar fern]

I probably own a computer older than you, so I do have quite a bit of comparison to reference

[golden talon]

Ooooh

I have the first dell XPS ever made

[valid siren]

ah yes, the age argument.

[granite tinsel]

i miss windows 7, man

[timid meadow]

Dont we all?

[granite tinsel]

if microsoft just made windows 7 but with the 11 aesthetic that would be my perfect OS

[polar fern]

It’s not an argument it’s a fact I’ve been using computers at home since 1990 & at school 1987.

[stray apex]

so
11

[valid siren]

May I interest you in the KDE desktop?

[granite tinsel]

i've tried it; see my earlier complaints about linux in general

[polar fern]

it’s just weird to me that people come around with these opinions based on very little experience or information

[granite tinsel]

that said whenever i do have to contend with linux i do prefer KDE

[valid siren]

[granite tinsel]

and i'm glad that the steam deck ships with it as its stock environment

[polar fern]

I have both macs & PCs and Macs are not perfect and windows is a pain in the ass, so I think we can probably put this argument to rest now?

[valid siren]

God, I love that windows was so bloated that valve customized their own damn OS to not have to deal with it on their handheld

[granite tinsel]

honestly i'm not really even here to argue; i just like chatting about this stuff lol

[stray apex]

that's not it at all lmao

valve would love to just keep using windows

but unfortunately for valve microsoft owns it

[polar fern]

It’s all about the money

[stray apex]

ultimately the goal of any tech company is to go up on the platform chain

[granite tinsel]

i mean hey i welcome valve's efforts

[stray apex]

valve wants to run their own storefront on their own OS on their own hardware

[timid meadow]

Wouldnt it make the steam deck cost like an extra $100 each or something with windows?

[granite tinsel]

if there's any company that i wanna see bring linux into the mainstream one way or another, it's valve

[polar fern]

A tech company is first and foremost a business aiming to make a profit

[valid siren]

And have an hour less battery life.

[granite tinsel]

and most certainly the fuck not google

[stray apex]

they'd get bulk deals, I presume

[timid meadow]

I assumed $100 with bulk deals i have no idea how much a win11 key is

[polar fern]

Imagine using anything produced by valve 😬

[granite tinsel]

the weird thing about this though is how friendly microsoft is to the steam deck, even putting out guides and stuff about how to run xbox games on it

[stray apex]

like 100 ish?
idk
I don't know who pays for it

[timid meadow]

Steam link is pog tho (both device and service)

[granite tinsel]

i don't see any other company making finger-tracking VR controllers

[stray apex]

why would xbox care where you played their games?

[granite tinsel]

actually true

[stray apex]

as long as you pay them, it's fine

[polar fern]

Most people arent using that though

[granite tinsel]

forgot that's xbox's new strat

[golden talon]

the first thing i think when i hear valve is CSGO skins

and then i lose any sort of respect i have for anyone that complements valve

[granite tinsel]

it might be because i got my own VR headset this month but when i think valve i think about the index

[valid siren]

because they are the same company as windows

[stray apex]

so?

microsoft doesn't make money by selling consumers windows

[granite tinsel]

valve to me just constantly makes me think "if only they applied themselves more"

[stray apex]

microsoft makes money by selling companies windows

[stray apex]

they can't

[timid meadow]

They make money off guys like me who pay monthly for my gamepass+series s

[granite tinsel]

yeah i know they're actually quite small in terms of employee count

[golden talon]

yeah they cant theyre too busy making useless anti cheat

[stray apex]

valve's flat hierarchy means that it's basically impossible to get projects out the door unless they're really good

[valid siren]

or cs:go skins

[polar fern]

I think a lot of folks who come on this Discord have a semi skewed perspective on the tech space. The enthusiast segment of the tech market as a whole is under 2%. And I am talking everything from gaming PC hardware and accessories, all the way to projectors and VR and all of that stuff. And I’m not saying it’s a bad segment. I’m just saying you’re thinking that more people are into this than actually are

[granite tinsel]

also as a longtime TF2 player i get really sad when i think about how valve's treated the game over the last 5 years

[valid siren]

Most PCs used nowadays are not desktops, and most desktops used nowadays are prebuilts.

[timid meadow]

Isnt that just focusing on new purchases though? Not used or recycled enterprise or anything

[polar fern]

Yes that’s right a lot of people actually use mid priced laptops because they can take them to school or work

[valid siren]

VAC > EAC.

[granite tinsel]

oh btw fun fact i found out with this macbook: apparently steam has not been ported to apple silicon

i can't blame valve for not doing it but i still find it really funny

[valid siren]

jeez just call it ARM

[polar fern]

Armple silicon

[granite tinsel]

bleh i'm getting too used to calling it that so i can explain it better to non-tech people

[valid siren]

Acceptable.

[urban vale]

I love LMG, but I feel this community skews people into thinking they are enthusiasts and passionate when in fact

haha man drop GPU funny

[graceful burrow]

I disagree

Many newbies get great help here with basic things

[valid siren]

...when in fact they'd sooner buy an S12III than do any research that would show how awful it is because "sponsored by seasonic"

[urban vale]

it’s informative and educational if you want it to be

[polar fern]

Just a few years ago, it seems it was not just AMD and Intel in the processor arena. I am actually very glad that Apple has done this because we definitely need more competition in the processor market space.

[granite tinsel]

also regarding LMG and apple stuff, i have to say that i fucking love mac address

[urban vale]

it’s beautiful

[polar fern]

I need to watch more Mac address, I keep forgetting to honestly

[urban vale]

the props of float plane is that it all is in one place so I never lose track of anything

[valid siren]

I see what you're saying, but I wouldn't call them direct competition since Apple is very much their own ecosystem.

People don't buy apple because of the hardware that's in them.

...for the most part.

[polar fern]

And unfortunately I can’t afford nor can I legally pay for something like floatplane

[granite tinsel]

jon is the perfect kinda guy for reviewing apple stuff because he gets apple products--obviously, he wouldn't be using them if he didn't--but he's not blindly faithful to them and recognizes their faults

[golden talon]

theyre definitely direct competitors

And apple is crapping all over them sad to say

the products that AMD and intel mobile chips go into directly compete against macbooks

[granite tinsel]

there's a lot of people who see the appeal in the apple ecosystem

[golden talon]

the ultrabook segment is the best primary example

[granite tinsel]

can i also say that the M2 mac mini's base price is insane and a pretty serious threat to the low-end desktop market

[polar fern]

And the seamless integration has a lot of appeal. It’s something that I enjoy quite a bit and having one number to call for tech support also helps

[valid siren]

Assuming you only need 256 gigs of storage lol

[polar fern]

You are allowed to get external storage you know

[golden talon]

256 of storage in a PC that costs $500 and fits in my pocket

shit bro ill take it

[granite tinsel]

apple's customer service, while expensive if you need repairs, is so much fucking better than windows OEMs like dell and HP

[valid siren]

"just use a dongle bruv"

[valid siren]

Dell/HP cs is dogshit lol

[granite tinsel]

buy a 4TB HDD for $50, boom

[valid siren]

"just use a dongle bruv"

[polar fern]

I have a very long record with Apple customer support. They typically take my calls without charging because when I call it’s an issue they very likely very little record of it. Helps them incredibly with the development process

[golden talon]

This is still absolutely laughable

[granite tinsel]

the dongles are just something you have to accept when it comes to apple products

i think it's silly but it's not a dealbreaker

[golden talon]

it gets to a point where it actually becomes fun tussling with dongles

[valid siren]

For sure, the x86 instruction set has long overstayed its welcome

[golden talon]

like I mentioned earlier i daisy chained a bunch of them off one USB C port

[granite tinsel]

okay i have to admit that just sounds like stockholm syndrome

[polar fern]

I’m not sure what you mean by that but you can have any external hdd- that means that you can change the hard drive to whatever you want and you can upgrade or you can change the horse thing like from 2x 2TB drives to 4x 2TB

[valid siren]

...but this is cope.

[golden talon]

Nah its genuinely fun

I come back from my classes and have to hook up my macbook to my monitor and setup

So its always fun figuring out how Im gonna do it in a unique way

[granite tinsel]

i plan to set things up at my desktop with a thunderbolt dock so i just plug in a single cable and i'm done with it

[valid siren]

that's like saying you can bypass the shitty keyboard on an acer laptop by buying a k120 and plugging it in

[golden talon]

I had one of those but my dad stole it for his M1 Max macbook pro

[polar fern]

I actually have two external hard drives attached to my Mac mini. There’s nothing wrong with the hard drive in the Mac mini. I just would prefer to keep things separate.

[golden talon]

it was a expensive ass $200 corsair dock too

[polar fern]

Bypass

[valid siren]

oh. Honestly, I've never understood the appeal of mac mini's

[golden talon]

theyre cute!

[granite tinsel]

i've got an anker powerexpand; it's just three thunderbolt 4 ports and nothing more

but that means it's a blank slate for connecting all sorts of other shit

[polar fern]

I use a ton of external storage, because if the computer gets fried I can still use whatever was stored externally separate of the computer itself, it’s called having a backup that you can rely on

🤷‍♂️

[golden talon]

ah yeah that dock had 2 hdmi ports, 3 usb C ports, a usb A port, a power in port with support for USB PD and a bunch of other ports too

all of it coming off of one TB port

[granite tinsel]

for the record i bought it before the eufy disaster

[polar fern]

No docks just one 4 port usb hub

[golden talon]

all hail USB PD

[granite tinsel]

oh also one more thing i gotta praise about macbooks

man i wish magsafe was a thing on other laptops

[polar fern]

MagSafe is the best thing of all time

[wise tundra]

Oh that's hilarious. I'm planning on getting a Mac Mini with an M2 Pro

[golden talon]

Im indifferent to m agsafe

i use USB C more anyway, for charging

[valid siren]

https://patents.google.com/patent/US7311526B2/en
Not for a lack of trying

[granite tinsel]

💀

that explains a lot

it really does seem like one of those innovations where everyone should've gotten on board

[polar fern]

I have had multiple pre-MagSafe DC-in boards break because of power cable becoming snagged

[golden talon]

Some have tried, and failed

||Microsoft surface||

[valid siren]

We will see third-party ones in 2025, probably. Unless Apple does the thing that large companies do best and creates a marginal change to renew it.

[polar fern]

Thankfully, I was able to repair them fairly easily and quickly

[granite tinsel]

oh shit you're right, i forgot about those

[stray apex]

surface magnetic charging is fine

[polar fern]

“Surface pad” search groundbreaking, innovating, names & naming schemes

[granite tinsel]

i mean hey, usually only insulin and printer ink manufacturers do that

[stray apex]

the laptops are fine too, although microsoft really hasn't been doing much with them

[valid siren]

lol.
yeah...

fun fact: the insulin patent was originally sold for a dollar with the intention of everyone being able to make it

[polar fern]

Okay, I have to be awake in about 3 1/2 hours so I’m going to head off. You all stay safe stay healthy and be good

[granite tinsel]

ya gn!!

[granite tinsel]

yep, i know how the story goes, unfortunately

[golden talon]

Its okay, I suppose, but definitely not to the same standard that magsafe has set

I find the L shape uselessly long

And magsafe cables much higher quality

[valid siren]

To be fair, you try designing a better one with Apple's lawyers gnawing at your ankles the whole time

[granite tinsel]

i think it's good given the limitations

[golden talon]

I dont want to try, if its not magsafe at least let me just keep good old USB C charging

[valid siren]

Question was whether it was actually any better than just using a normal charger

[golden talon]

I would have taken another thunderbolt 4 port over magsafe any day of the week

[valid siren]

But for me to find out I'd have to buy a surface and that is not going to happen

[granite tinsel]

sidenote, it's worth noting that macbooks can still charge over USB-C, although they're limited to 100W PD

while the magsafe connector can go up to... what was it? 120W?

[valid siren]

depends on the device

[granite tinsel]

i think more than that but i forgot

anyhow it's nice that they still have that option, so mac users aren't once again separated from other laptop users when they need to share a charger

[golden talon]

they can fast charge over both too

i just discovered this yesterday

[granite tinsel]

useful since the M2 max macbook pro is said to be able to peak at 89W on a combined CPU+GPU load

[valid siren]

...and the cooling can handle that?

[golden talon]

easily

[valid siren]

well it has heat pipes now ig

[golden talon]

89 W is actually very little for a high performance laptop

most laptops of the same caliber wont hesitate to do 200W plus

[granite tinsel]

on paper it can very easily; in practice the macbook intentionally runs just below throttling point so that the fans don't have to spin up too high

[golden talon]

fanless ftw

[valid siren]

that's the macbook air.

[golden talon]

yep, thats what ive got

[granite tinsel]

ya, i'm talking about the M2 max macbook pro specifically

M1 max runs slightly cooler

[golden talon]

unironically runs 30 to 50 C cooler than my old intel macbook

[wanton glade]

you guys know of a "not slow asf" laptop that is cheap ?

[granite tinsel]

i think it's like 95C vs 85C

[golden talon]

m1 macbook air

[wanton glade]

something with an amd processor and an egpu

[golden talon]

lul

[wanton glade]

absolutely not

[valid siren]

When you're comparing it to a (effectively) passive-cooled x86 laptop, not saying much.

[granite tinsel]

you mean a dedicated GPU or like actual support for an external GPU enclosure?

[wanton glade]

oh my bad I meant a dgpu

[valid siren]

I really with there were more adoption of ARM/RISC-V in the mobile space.

[golden talon]

Microsoft is stupid and lazy so we cant have that

[granite tinsel]

my first thought goes to the ROG zephyrus G14 but that isn't a cheap laptop

[wanton glade]

yea

[golden talon]

odd requirements

why does it need to be amd and have a dgpu

[granite tinsel]

well needs to have a DGPU probably because they wanna game on it

[wanton glade]

dgpu bicoz I need one for rendering and whatnot, and amd cpus are better for laptops

[granite tinsel]

as for needing to be AMD...

[wanton glade]

blending actually

[golden talon]

fanboy detected

[granite tinsel]

i mean i guess ya lol

[golden talon]

just get something with an igpu

[wanton glade]

amd cpu = more battery

[golden talon]

amd igpu is gud

[wanton glade]

hell no bro

[wanton glade]

dat true

[granite tinsel]

if you're actually looking for productivity and not gaming then i would unironically recommend a macbook air

i don't think you'll find quite as much blender performance at the air's price point

[wanton glade]

what about for productivity + gaming ?

[golden talon]

i dont think id recommend an air for blender

[stray island]

@granite tinsel i agree macbook is the way

[golden talon]

and instead invest in a used m1 pro mbp

[wanton glade]

I just want something basic. I'll get an asus rog g17 later when I have the money

[stray island]

also i was able to overclock my 5900x to 5.8ghz

[wanton glade]

nice

[granite tinsel]

yeah if you need both then unfortunately macs aren't an option

[valid siren]

[wanton glade]

I hate mac. good.

[golden talon]

This is a steal of a laptop ngl

[granite tinsel]

my own way of sidestepping the gaming issue is, as i mentioned before, my steam deck

[golden talon]

Probably would have gotten this over my M2 air if it was this cheap

[wanton glade]

https://www.amazon.fr/ASUS-ROG-STRIX-G17-G713QR-K4127W-Ordinateur-Rétroéclairé/dp/B0B8JSJ6B3/

[granite tinsel]

and my windows desktop

[valid siren]

Mine is steam in-home streaming

...and the fact that I rarely play anything 3d anyway

[stray island]

@valid siren what platform do you stream with

[wanton glade]

well, guess I'll be getting the G17 directly

[golden talon]

If its a strix its good

[valid siren]

steam

[golden talon]

i dont even need to look at the laptop

no such thing as a bad strix product period

[granite tinsel]

5800H, 3070; checks the fuck out

[valid siren]

i.e. cloud gaming but with my own desktop

[wanton glade]

ikr

[granite tinsel]

christ that's an obnoxious cookie disclaimer

[valid siren]

For a laptop, a ryzen 6000 chip with no dGPU is the way to go imo. RDNA2 iGPU plus DDR5 can almost hit mobile 1650 performance levels

[granite tinsel]

and for 1379 euros? yeah i think that's a good pick

[wanton glade]

the heck is wrong with you man

[wanton glade]

yeah i know, rauko helped me

[granite tinsel]

how important is GPU power to blender?

[wanton glade]

a lot

[valid siren]

y e s

[granite tinsel]

yeah figures

[wanton glade]

for rendering

[granite tinsel]

then definitely prioritize GPU over CPU

[wanton glade]

yup

[valid siren]

If you're doing it professionally, you shouldn't be doing it on a laptop regardless.

[wanton glade]

3070 for blender is noice

[granite tinsel]

unless it's a macbook

[golden talon]

Got issues

i use this pos too much

[granite tinsel]

tho fr there's a reason why the "portable workstation" market exists

[wanton glade]

me broke ass student tryna get by

[golden talon]

That said, good night or good morning wherever you may be

[granite tinsel]

gnight!!

[wanton glade]

and getting a desktop is cool and all, but mobility is missing

[granite tinsel]

if you need to be mobile, you need to be mobile

[full fossil]

what about spiders?

[valid siren]

M2 is cool and all, it's not going to measure up to desktop discrete GPUs. Nor does it have to, but if you're making your living off of blender rendering, it's worth looking into.

[wanton glade]

which reminds me that I'm currently considering dropping out of school, to learn 3D animation on my own

[full fossil]

which grade are u in?

[golden talon]

i came back to say

dont do that

[granite tinsel]

and the pro and max?

[wanton glade]

I can run spiderman miles morales on a 960 if I have to, dw about it

[wanton glade]

gonna graduate by June

[granite tinsel]

so 12?

[golden talon]

go to community college if you have to

[granite tinsel]

...or how many grades are there in french school?

[wanton glade]

but why tho ?

[wanton glade]

12

[golden talon]

[full fossil]

nice, after study 3D animation xP with blender!

[granite tinsel]

right okay just double-checking LOL

[full fossil]

lets try it OwO

[golden talon]

Anyway the anime GPU is gonna be setup tomorrow cant wait

[valid siren]

I ran the witcher 3 on a GT 730 for a while. Not pleasant, but I got pretty good at 20fps gaming

[granite tinsel]

well shit, coming within 500 points of my own desktop GPU while consuming less than half as much power

i still think that's damn impressive

[valid siren]

I guessed by your PFP and frequently used emotes that you probably had that

[wanton glade]

I wanna be a 3D animator/modeller, do you actually think that community college teaches that ?

gotta pull out that credit card

[golden talon]

[valid siren]

It is. M2 max still achieves just over a third of what a 3060 can, though

[full fossil]

fuck college! follow your dreams! xP

[wanton glade]

you're 15 tf you sayin

[golden talon]

yes they do

[wanton glade]

no...t in France

[granite tinsel]

it does also compare favourably against other laptop GPUs...

[full fossil]

im not 15 😭

[valid siren]

My entire point was that if you do blender for a living you should look into desktops.

[granite tinsel]

yeah probably

[wanton glade]

how old ru

[golden talon]

rip then i have nothing to say to you idk anything about france except baguettes and the eiffel tower

[timid meadow]

Seems like france of all places would have an art related class that i can find at my ghetto community college

Unlucky

[wanton glade]

Idgaf I'll come up with something even better

[granite tinsel]

lab it out; i'm sure you'll figure out something

[small zephyr]

microsoft..... one drive is not an cloud based anti virus protection

[granite tinsel]

could also just name it after yourself

[granite tinsel]

onedrive claims that? i uninstalled it LMAO

[small zephyr]

windows 11 only allowes you to deactivate it like cant fully uninstall it

[granite tinsel]

i uninstalled it on win11 some time back

hasn't returned since

[small zephyr]

geez fuck you windows stop switching between 2 layout after sleep

[granite tinsel]

i am on a macbook right now and i feel at peace

[small zephyr]

🤨 having qwerty in germany can suck so i needa switch with shift alt all the time

[small zephyr]

i can never feel at peace with amcos or linux

maybe in some instances with chrome os tho

but its basicly a linux operated android

🤔 i think i should build myself a diy pet bottle filament maker

[granite tinsel]

i think you're the first person i've met to actually prefer chromeOS over macOS and linux

[small zephyr]

the energy drink i always buy got a nice semi transparent silver bottle

[small zephyr]

welp chrome os is basicly better comparable with games

[granite tinsel]

i hate that you're right

[small zephyr]

at least you can play genshin inpact without some emulation

[granite tinsel]

well that's the funny thing; on paper genshin should run on macOS but

mihoyo have not bothered at all

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ mihoyo still owns us a switch version as well

[granite tinsel]

i think it's literally just that they're too lazy to put keyboard and mouse controls on the iOS/iPad port

[full fossil]

they are really stupid

[small zephyr]

🤔 i dont know why the switch version takes so long

[granite tinsel]

good question

[small zephyr]

my guess can only be licensing i bet they want to make an exclusive character like alloy on ps4 but they wont get the rights or something

[timid meadow]

This statement confuses me because android is linux based android lol

[small zephyr]

🤔 link or zelda in genshin would be awesome

[small zephyr]

yeah i could have phrased that a another way

"chrome os is linux os with google play store"

hence more convienient

[modern pier]

silly question but is the real linus on this server or would he get pinged into oblivion

[granite tinsel]

anyway i am acutely aware of macOS's gaming deficiencies but that's why i still have a windows desktop and steam deck LOL

[granite tinsel]

he is but i'm quite sure he's got safeguards against being pinged into the stratosphere

[modern pier]

oh yeah

[small zephyr]

and he didnt wrote once in here i think

the time he did was jake on his pc

🤔 havent seen jake in a while as well lol

[wanton glade]

[wanton glade]

bro some wild shit is going on in tech chat check it out

instead of chromeOS they should start putting Windows 11 Lite instead

guys will kyronaut last on my laptop?

like how long should it last?

[north lynx]

it should last years. you will be fine using it and forgetting it.

[cyan drum]

my laptop goes above 80 tho

still okay?

[north lynx]

with or without kryonaut? laptops tend to get pretty hot either way. for example my laptop gets pretty toasty under load.

[cyan drum]

yes but doesn't it dry out faster at above 80

wouldn't I have to replace it in 2-3 weeks?

[north lynx]

no no no not at all.

thermal paste will last a very long time. whoever told you it will dry out fast is wrong.

[cyan drum]

I saw some reddit posts and something on their website aswell as my friend saying that

[north lynx]

2-4 years

you will be alright.

[cyan drum]

hmm

okay tysm

[north lynx]

yeppers! glad to help

[small zephyr]

nice i have everything for my 3d printer enclosure

even new glass for the bed

lets see how good picture frames work for abs

does someone have an auto typer?

All laptops do

[cyan drum]

not really

[tall wedge]

i don't think my current laptop has ever gone above 80

[dreamy rose]

mine has never gone below 80

[small zephyr]

🤔think cardboard is enough for a 3d printer enclosure?

thinking of makeing only the sides that face me out of acrylic

[empty bramble]

I am curious, does anyone have a count of the number of times Linus has dropped something?

[serene vigil]

i finally watched arcane, great show

still not playing league though

[neon mesa]

imagine quad slot 4090ti on an ITX

[small zephyr]

🤔i dont like the style of arcane

[neon mesa]

nice computer on your 4090ti there

[small zephyr]

rtx 7000 is like going to be big enough to build your entire pc inside most likely looking at the size of the 4090

it will be not what gpu will you put into your pc but rather what pc will you build into your gpu

[serene vigil]

i actually really liked it, the characters were very well written

it felt like the game was built around the show, rather than the other way around

[small zephyr]

well they always made the charaters based on storys as far as i know

and many champs are like the deffs of the team as well

[serene vigil]

they all have a slight background

i think overwatch should have a show like arcane

it would be really nice to see

[small zephyr]

at least the og roaster is based on the defs

[neon mesa]

it's like the A-10

plane on a gun

but this time
it's pc on a gpu not gpu on a pc

[wanton glade]

wat

[full fossil]

I just found found their headquarters

[polar fern]

Oh?

Like, irl?

[tulip tusk]

yes

Litterally IRL

[polar fern]

Cool

I’ve stumbled upon a few well known company offices over the years.

the ATI research lab was one

[tulip tusk]

Nice

btw i sent the pic in off-topic

[polar fern]

O neat

The other notable one I discovered years ago was a regional CDW office since relocated to NJ

Lockheed Martin space division were they built satellites was another one where one of my friends lived

They used to bring in these super huge trailers with giant enclosures on them

Obviously the satellites were inside of there

Some of them were commercial and other ones were military

You could tell which one is which based on the timing, and when they were launched

We used to ride our bikes from their house to the campus driveway and have like a picnic going on and watch the satellites being loaded into the building’s receiving clean room. We never saw the hardware itself just the huge boxes.

Kind of cool to think that stuff that we saw is likely still in orbit today

[tulip tusk]

@polar fern that's crazy bud

Back in the 90s, there wasn’t much to do when you didn’t have money

You'll get over it

Oh
Well he'll get over it somewhere else lmao

[molten drift]

Good -local time of day- to you all

[graceful burrow]

[polar fern]

Ahoy @molten drift how goes your day??

[molten drift]

I'm happy so far of the two new neighbors moving into our building the one I have met was very nice

[polar fern]

Sweet

[molten drift]

Even more happy that he lives over the neighbor I hate and has a kid good she can experience come of the stomping that she gives me.

[polar fern]

🤣

[molten drift]

She complained to the office once that I was playing videogames at 3am. Uhh I'm 29. The last time I saw 3 am on a clock was when I was waking up for a drink in the middle of the night.

[polar fern]

“Ma’am this is a Wendy’s”

[molten drift]

Well in that case I'll take two family pack nuggets a Italian cheeseburger with extra pickle

[polar fern]

🤣

[molten drift]

By the way the family pack at Wendy's is the best deal

You get between 40-50 nuggets... For 14$.

And then worst case you can reheat them if needed...

[finite cloud]

I'll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe, on a raft, four-by-four animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim

[finite cloud]

That is a deal. McDonald’s gave me 20 for $10

[polar fern]

Sounds colon friendly

Helllooo! Hoping you have amazing day ^^

man i want an ltt screwdriver but i cant justify 100$ for it

[polar fern]

I am guessing you are outside of North America?

[dusty rune]

yep

[finite cloud]

Id buy it too but it is expensive. I’m sure it’s good though

[polar fern]

I have to be honest with you, I do think free shipping is not sustainable from an environmental and ethical standpoint.

[finite cloud]

I always end up paying like $10 In shipping which sucks

[polar fern]

Every place should have a flat shipping fee, that is not free like $4 or $6 or something. I think this may cut down on frivolous purchases which then creates greenhouse emissions.

[low vessel]

Can I have 1 intake fan rear, 2 intake fans front, and the radiator on top as exhaust? would that work fine?

[finite cloud]

Sheesh.

[polar fern]

@low vessel yes

I would try to have a dust filter on all three of the intake fans

You definitely do not want a dusty radiator

[dusty rune]

30$ shipping to europe

[finite cloud]

Sheeesh

[polar fern]

Yeah, that sounds about right

@low vessel you can usually find dust filters that attach directly to the fan.

[honest cloak]

how do i stop onedrive from syncing it keeps filling up

[polar fern]

Probably in settings

I haven’t used it, so I’m not sure where in the settings is located, but you can disable it

You may also be able to switch it to manual?

[honest cloak]

where is it

[polar fern]

@full fossil 😎

[finite cloud]

You can uninstall it if you don’t care about it

Oh there’s a manage backup settings

[versed wave]

I'm so glad LTT has looked at Jellyfin I personally love that it's free and open source and does the basic functionality that Plex does. The main thing is we need more eyes on it to get more people working on the project. Hopefully that's led to 10.9.0 coming out sooner and with that a bunch of new features coming out soon after as well.

[young root]

is that a g5?

[formal dew]

Hey, any mods around? I am wondering if something is okay to talk about here. Some people get really uppity about it. But it is becoming legal in more and more places. And this is a Canadian organization, right? The topic in question is legal in all of Canada. At this point you don't have to ask me what I am talking about. Just a yes or a no will work. I just need to know if I need to watch my mouth here as it comes up a lot in passing with me.

[gilded plinth]

You can use the search feature, if you see people talking about it freely, it's probably fine. 1489 results?

[formal dew]

Good freaking call. How did I not think about that?

[formal dew]

Thanks, really a good call. I have been using discord for years and never thoght to just search for a topic to see if it is okay.

[gilded plinth]

Np

[pseudo flume]

hey guys, could I get some help in #networking ?

[formal dew]

You all wanna know how influential Linus is? 13-14 years ago when I made my first I learned how to build from watching LTT. Well I had a friend who I had been trying to get into PC gaming for years. About 7 years ago I went to visit them and they had a gaming PC. I asked if they built it themselves and they said "Yeah, you have to check out this guy on youtube called Linus" and I was like "Way ahead of you" So just this weekend my brother in law told me he built his first PC. Well, I asked if he heard of LTT and he said that was how he learned to build his PC.

[woeful quarry]

Has LTT ever done a review comparing iFixIt iphone batteries to apple batteries? or anyone have an opinion. I have a 12 mini and the specs on the OEM and the iFixIt battery are the same, but is the off brand as good?

[formal dew]

Like, everyone I know who has built a PC learned how to build from LTT without me even telling them to. They just found him organically.

[woeful quarry]

yup

[formal dew]

It would be a dream come true to learn cable management from him in person. That is my weak point. Cable management. I do not go full rats nest. But it does not look clean at all.

[gilded plinth]

I just don't look at the cables.

[formal dew]

I look over at my PC all the time.

[gilded plinth]

Only cables I really care about are my headphone cables because they are like 3 meters and can be a pain sometimes

[formal dew]

Even with it looking old and dated and a bit dusty right now (it is cleaning day today. But I am skipping this week as I have been going all weekend and I am back to work tomorrow.) I just love to see my parts and go "yes, I do have this PC don't I?"

[leaden gale]

Here's the problem with cable management, right

There's only so much you can do with the stock cables that come with products

If you really want clean cable management, you're essentially forced to purchase made-to-order cables

[formal dew]

That's where they get you.

[wintry dagger]

I learned how to build my first pc from dawid does tech stuff lmao

broke 4 pins off of my 3900x but somehow ive had zero issues and everything works

knock on wood

[wintry dagger]

and yes ik it hurts you to read it as much as it still hurts me a year later

[spice sand]

6 resistors shorted on my GTX 670 FTW and it still runs fine

Tech is weird

[wintry dagger]

oof 670

[spice sand]

Does what I ask it to do

[wintry dagger]

fair enough

[spice sand]

Crushes a 1030 at least lol

[wintry dagger]

I regret getting my 3070 and not sticking with my 970 because my 970 did everything I needed it to do

[spice sand]

I mean the 3070 will age better

[wintry dagger]

also the quest 2 controllers are flimsy as fuck I stfg I scraped the wall while playing job sim and now it wont work

it wasnt even hard either

[spice sand]

Facebook moment

[wintry dagger]

literally

but I dont want to spend 1k on a headset so I had no other option

vr is still a very new technology I cant wait for a stand-alone unit thats powerful enough to run all games at max settings

[slate sparrow]

Not for long

[spice sand]

It’s been like that for 5 months

how long is not for long in your eyes

[slate sparrow]

Something will happen

[idle skiff]

Guys, I found the only good flavor of g fuel

[spice sand]

We’ll see

[spice sand]

I got a 570 HD on backup

[slate sparrow]

Your GTX 670 can survive without 6 resistors but my motherboard can’t survive without 100 pins

Ok, since I don’t have school today my teacher sent me a video from LTT about partitions and then I gotta summarize the video.

[fossil dirge]

I finally got my PC working again

It turns out that the power cable was loose on the motherboard

[gilded quest]

Kool aid power brings back memories of childhood

[idle skiff]

I posted it in the gfuel discord with "the best flavor of gfuel yet"

I dont get it how is his OxygenOS looking like that?

[wintry dagger]

I took a personal computer upgrading and repairing class at junior college because my highschool requires 9 units and it was an easy 3 unit class

[slate sparrow]

mines an IT class

[wintry dagger]

it was more of like how the internet works, with binary and how to translate from hexadecimal to binary and how to troubleshoot stuff it was literally a beginning it class just with a wierd name

[slate sparrow]

That sounds like my second year of the class I’m taking

[wintry dagger]

yeah it was rlly easy

only thing I hated is that he would tell you how to do it but wouldnt write it down and my autistic ass cant remember shit so

[slate sparrow]

Mine just tells me to take notes

Which I have a lot of so far

[wintry dagger]

I always go "oh thats easy ill remember it" and then I remember it until I have to execute what hes saying and then I forget instantly

[slate sparrow]

I don’t

mostly I get really nervous doing Wi-Fi labs because I know I’m going to mess something up (which I don’t)

[wintry dagger]

im only glad I went because I learned that the 1 on power supplies means on and the 0 means off and I would just switch it to one side and press the power button, and if it didnt then I would try the other side and press the button so now I actually know what side to flip it to turn the damn pc on

[wintry dagger]

are you not using routers>

[slate sparrow]

I did a lab the other day and I troubleshooted for like 20 minutes just to find out the damn cable wasn’t plugged in.

[slate sparrow]

We are

We as in my class

[wintry dagger]

what they did is they took one of the ethernet cables from the schools internet, plugged it into a router, so it was like its own isolated network

[wintry dagger]

then ur fine

if you mess anything up theres a reset button

[slate sparrow]

I have to use that button after I finish my lab so someone else can do it

[slate sparrow]

I’m still mad about this….

[wintry dagger]

oh I've had worse... much worse...

I took a whole pc apart trying to find a broken component just to realize it wasnt even plugged in... it took me an hour....

LITERALLY THE FIRST STEP

[slate sparrow]

It happens

[young root]

the sub in my car is being weird so i'm warranty claiming it

the instructions i was given is just to destroy it

like actually, take a hammer and destroy the sub

[plush rivet]

This is why in tech people always say to do the easiest things instead of the hardest

Because your computer could not be working and it could simply be you forgot to turn the PSU on

[wintry dagger]

I cant do things in an order and then my mind gets everything mixed up and tells itself I already did that troubleshooting part

idk how im gonna make it through uc if I struggle with hs+ one college level class

[manic torrent]

have you had an adhd assessment?

[wintry dagger]

adhd, and autism

[fossil dirge]

I have autism

[winter spindle]

ok

[wintry dagger]

nice!

I have a love hate with my autism tbh because I love that I can nerd out on anything and then I have sensory issues, and my emotions are crazy, and shit always flies over my head. I need a schedule but every time I try it never actually materializes

my adhd is literally just forgetfulness, not being able to sit still, and having a hella short attention span as well as getting sidetracked by anything

everybodies different, im just saying those are my personal issues im struggling with

Yeah I really love being autistic

I have obsessive compulsive and I am very hyper

I love having autism

It's a gift

[wintry dagger]

I will eventually accept myself and then love it, im just still going through the process of being confused with mixed emotions because I got diagnosed a month ago

[full fossil]

where can i ask abt sim racing stuff?

[nimble lava]

Hi

[wintry dagger]

probably #gaming because #cars is for actual cars

[full fossil]

thanks but i just ended up asking in #tech-chat-2

[wintry dagger]

ah

[small zephyr]

realy macbook pros got notches?

dude when does phone manufactors and apple see that notches are as garbage as rounded corners

[uncut citrus]

I have a 5700XT, 8600K and a 550W PSU

I want to upgrade to the 6800XT Nitro+

I am pushing the limit of the PSU

but I will be upgrading it later

[vapid smelt]

amd recommends 750

[jaunty compass]

5700 XT is pog

I'm considering buying one for a steam machine pc

[vapid smelt]

i love mine

[molten drift]

Well this is a pickle..

I have Comcast. Yet a Verizon truck is blocking my driveway completely.

[vapid smelt]

push it out of the way

[molten drift]

To the point I can't get a food delivery or say there was a fire a firetruck can't get in either.

I can't push a bucket truck out of the way

Especially not with my Hyundai Elantra.

[raven pelican]

go and ask the guy to move

[molten drift]

I can't. I'm working at a desk from home.

But I also can't order my door dash

[wintry dagger]

they've had notches since like 2021

[golden talon]

Doesn’t bother me tbh

All the new macbooks have notches

Theory is that they’re setting up Face ID hardware in the near future in the notch

[finite cloud]

That is one of the only things I dislike about the new MacBooks

[rugged bridge]

hello public-chat

[dreamy rose]

make Steam Machines

people need to make Steam Machines

[jaunty compass]

I have some ES PC hardware I haven't been using, so I'm looking to get a small case and 5700 XT or whatever

[rugged bridge]

steam powered pc?

[wintry dagger]

same, I'd rather take a touchbar 2020 macbook pro

[finite cloud]

Okay well….if I had the choice between the two I wouldn’t take a touchbar MacBook

[wintry dagger]

I havent used it, but it looks cool

[dreamy rose]

Mac is pretty mid anyway

[finite cloud]

The touchbar is a cool idea but a poor execution

[wintry dagger]

I will never buy a mac but if I had no choice I would get that one

or a m1 air

and if I needed macos I would just use a vm

[fossil frost]

mine was almost smoke powered yesterday 😄 ... turns out that if you accidentally misconfigure PBO, you can push a ryzen cpu to throw its self out of the window if you dont notice in time 😄

[dreamy rose]

sounds like fun

[finite cloud]

Looks like Valve had some contribution too

[fossil frost]

there is a setting which looks like you are setting the MAXIMUM voltage, and i wanted to increase that from 1.45v to 1.5v... turns out.. no... its the locked voltage... and if you, at the same time, tell it that it can also run at 265amps... it get hot... fast... and just hard crashes... and takes several reboots to convince to come back to life

[finite cloud]

I’ve got a Mac Mini I use as a server so I’ll use use that if I ever need MacOS

[molten drift]

So... I saw a sandwich at Burger King that totally defeated my mind

[finite cloud]

Or I can use my MacBook but that runs windows at the moment

[molten drift]

A "Mexican original chicken sandwich" I'm literally half Mexican and it is a joke. I hope

[fossil frost]

its gonna be a chicken sandwich with loads of paprika and pepper... 100%

[molten drift]

Nope

[dreamy rose]

its a Zinger burger.

[molten drift]

It's their long chicken with jalapenos and a spicy yellow queso sauce.

[finite cloud]

Yeah American Mexican food is basically Mexican food described over the phone

[molten drift]

No.

[fossil frost]

was gonna say jalapenos too, but, didnt think that somewhere you would buy a sandwich would actually put them on it

[molten drift]

The only thing even remotely Mexican about it is the jalapenos.

[dreamy rose]

they made the mistake of giving america the choice of what "Mexican Food" looks like

[molten drift]

It's the same chicken from their Italian chicken sandwich. And their American chicken sandwich

But not their circular chicken

[fossil frost]

https://tenor.com/view/jeff-dunham-peanut-i-dont-speak-spanish-puppet-gif-17742788

[molten drift]

This is like if your made a ground chicken patty . And then stepped on it and then it absorbed your boot shape and you put it on a bun.

[fossil frost]

used to watch jeff dunham a lot when i first found him about 12-15 years ago... and then re-watched about a year later, and realised how super super racist his routines are

[dreamy rose]

do you say that only cause of Achmed?

i will admit. that is Playing with fire.

[fossil frost]

wtf...

Achmed, José, Sweet D. Dee, Seamus...

i think the only reason he gets away with it is, he counters it by having the "american" puppets be complete idiots

[dreamy rose]

there was more than i remember

[molten drift]

I'm thinking I'm gonna commit to Burger King..

But it depends on their coupons on the app

[fossil frost]

Walter, stereotypical grumpy american old man, peanut... idiot... Bubba stereotypical redneck... Little Jeff (a cartoonised idiot version of himself)

[dreamy rose]

i wonder what took them so long to jump on the idea of Apps the big Fast food chains

[fossil frost]

they wanted people inside, they want you there, you are more likely to order more if you are there... then covid hit and gave them no choice, and they now realise that people will just order a fuck load more than they actually want, because its on their phone, and they dont SEE it until its too late

[molten drift]

I mean I usually do McDonald's but I used to love stackers

[sweet jetty]

Hihihi

[fossil frost]

i cant eat mcdonalds... something that is in it, something they cook it with, not sure what, but... there have been several near miss incidents in the last 2-3 times i went, that can only be attributed to them... so.. no more mcds for me

[molten drift]

And it's a lot cheaper to get the food at BK vs delivery... So I'll get 2 quad stackers then take the bun off at home cause the bun is one of the worst things you can eat.

[fossil frost]

and, by near miss incidents, i mean i almost shat out my own skeleton

[sweet jetty]

Oh no, that's really bad

[molten drift]

Like it's 2$ cheaper per sandwich at Burger King vs doordash.... So... I'll save the 4$ given it's a 2 mile trip there and back

[sweet jetty]

Maybe track down the ingredients and find what you're allergic to?

[full fossil]

sorry w h a t

[dreamy rose]

what kind of McDonalds are you going to? that aint mcDonalds its a Taco Bell

[sweet jetty]

I'm currently in India for uni so pretty much every fast food place is extremely cheap and mostly really good

[jaunty compass]

💀

[jaunty compass]

Linus discord tips

[full fossil]

[fossil frost]

any mcdonalds, specifically the burgers that do it to me. no idea why... i have mild IBS, most stuff im fine with as long as i dont go overboard... but a single cheeseburger from mcds... and my arse has a better thrust to weight ratio than the saturn 5

[dreamy rose]

i guess Taco bell is like Jet Fuel to you then

[jaunty compass]

Those "cheeseburgers" are what happens if you tell an ai to make American food

[fossil frost]

no idea, never been, they arent a thing in the uk

[dreamy rose]

they are here in a limited capacity in Australia.

[sweet jetty]

They are...

[fossil frost]

tbh, i can eat jalapeneos raw, or scotch bonnet... hot... but does nothing to trigger my stomach...

[dreamy rose]

only know of 2 stores

[sweet jetty]

At least in Bristol and Manchester

[fossil frost]

i live just outside manchester, been there a few times in the last few weeks, cant say ive noticed it

[sweet jetty]

Fair

I'm not sure about London but I think they have some there too since some people just call England London lmfao

[fossil frost]

was in london last week for a work thing... i hate london, it sucks

[sweet jetty]

It's alright

It's nothing special though

[wintry dagger]

bri'ish

[fossil frost]

everyone is rude and ignorant... and nobody knows how to fucking drive

[wintry dagger]

sounds like california drivers

[sweet jetty]

Idrc about the former because I'm socially awkward either way BUT THE LATTER IS SO ACCURATE

[molten drift]

Anyone else eat fastfood with a fork or just me?

[fossil frost]

my fast food usually never makes it home to where the forks are 😄

[dreamy rose]

you know what they say about people who live in the fast lane. THEY DONT LIVE IN FUCKING ENGLAND!

[sweet jetty]

Dude I use fork and knives, literally being doing that with most foods (except bread) since I was like 4

[molten drift]

Wait... Am I weird for keeping forks in my car.

[fossil frost]

i keep knives in my car... but probably for different things

[molten drift]

Not metal ones but like the plastic wrapped individual ones.

Oh I have a big ol knife in my car.

[sweet jetty]

Nah I keep cooking knives in mine and no one says a thing 🥰

totally cooking knives

[molten drift]

I have a folding kukri. In my car.

[fossil frost]

anybody who looked in the back of my car would think i was a murderer

[sweet jetty]

Sheesh

[sweet jetty]

+1

Except the unicorn plushie

I think that makes up for keeping knives in my car

[molten drift]

But yeah my glove box is like condiment packets and napkins and forks in a container. And then my registration and insurance and a pen.

[fossil frost]

knives, crowbar, tarp, rope, tape, scissors ...

[sweet jetty]

Bahahaha

I hate most pens

[fossil frost]

ohh, the dead bodies too... im pretty sure that would be a giveaway of they spotted those

[sweet jetty]

Just keep them in your basement

[molten drift]

Ba dum tis

[fossil frost]

im pretty sure that everyone saw that coming from beyond the horizon 😄

[neon mesa]

Found another crazy shit on Facebook

The fuck is this

[sweet jetty]

Facebook still exists?

[fossil frost]

"is it a bird... is it a plane? ... no... its a joke that has taken 5 previous messages of setup" 😄

[sweet jetty]

WHAT IN THE MINING FATIGUE 100

[vapid smelt]

[sweet jetty]

Bro's sun drying his GPUs

What if someone takes one away while he's not looking, he won't even care

[fossil frost]

btw, started growing chillis and also strawberries today...

[sweet jetty]

Ayyy sick!

I grew berries at home

They need a lotta care

[fossil frost]

my plan is, a forcable cross pollination.. spicy stawberries... and trick my kids into thinking they are regular ones 😄

[sweet jetty]

Good luck

[fossil frost]

yeah, they are dramatically different types of plant, unlikely to do anything

[sweet jetty]

Welp

This slowmode is annoying

[fossil frost]

anyway, bed for me... previously mentioned children will be up in the morning and expect me to be awake to give them food

[sweet jetty]

Nini
